Provisional data for Louisiana

Recent data provided by the USGS in Louisiana -- including stream discharge, water levels, precipitation, and components from water-quality monitors--are preliminary and have not received final approval.

Most data relayed by satellite or other telemetry have received little or no review. Inaccuracies in the data may be present because of instrument malfunctions or physical changes at the measurement site. Subsequent review may result in significant revisions to the data.

Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences.
